Carrot Cake Luna Bar

Luna Bar has a new flavor available this season! When I was offered the chance to taste them, I said yes. (While was given the bars for free, all opinions are my own.) This new flavor is carrot cake, a spicy and sweet bar iced with a vanilla glaze. I looked forward to it since I enjoy carrot cake, a cake flavor I don’t make very often because I hate grating carrots.

Since many of us are more body-conscious during these warmer months, Luna reminds us that we don’t have to compromise taste for health. The nutritional stats (180 calories; 8 grams protein; 3 grams fiber; contains CORE 4™ vitamins and minerals: calcium, folic acid, iron, and vitamin d) make it the perfect snack to help satisfy cravings while still indulging in a delicious treat.

Taste-wise, I think I tasted more of the cinnamony spice than any actual carrot flavoring, even though the bar does contain organic dried carrots. It’s tasty and reminiscent of a healthy crispy rice bar, but with icing. I don’t eat bars very often, though I have a selection of favorites I reach for when I’m on road trips or need a quick snack to tide me over. Luna Bar offers so many varieties of bars (a few that I’ve previously reviewed) and is a brand I often purchase on my own.

If you’d like to try this tasty carrot cake bar for yourself, it is available at Target and natural food stores and sells for $1.39.
